Introduction to Research How to search, select, and cite credible sources. Adapted from the original PowerPoint by Kristen Dembroski

The Search for Information & Evidence When searching the internet, use search terms that come directly from your main topic and your research questions. EXAMPLE: Topic: Smoking Research Questions: Is smoking harmful? Should it be banned? What are the current laws about smoking? Search Terms: smoking health smoking laws secondhand smoke studies on effects of smoking effects of smoking

Strategic Searching When searching the internet, it’s tempting to just start clicking away on any result that pops up. But… Keep in mind some companies pay to keep their results near the top of the list Not all links are credible sources of information When deciding what to click on, ask yourself these questions: Is it on topic? Is it credible (more on this later)?

Strategic Searching Not finding enough sources? Be strategic. Use root words of key terms Put exact phrases in “double quotation marks” Remove search terms that are common but not helpful by using a minus sign Example: smoking effects -cancer

Finding Credible Sources Stick with sources that are well-known and well-established. Always know who created the website and why (read the About tab) Look at the date of the information Verify facts by cross-checking them with other reliable sites

No Excuses It is your job to read, sort through the information, and choose the best evidence to support your topic and fulfill your purpose of informing your audience.

Avoiding Plagiarism (aka Cite Your Sources) Definition: Using other people’s words, thoughts, or ideas without giving them credit. How to avoid it Put EVERYTHING including your notes in your own words Give credit to the author (this should be done sparingly – most of your work should be in your own words) You must do this for ideas (summaries of opinions or thoughts) as well as direct quotes!!!!
